How to bypass the Oh no, something went wrong error in Minecraft

If you’re getting the Oh no, something went wrong error in Minecraft, something is preventing you from accessing your game. Before doing anything else, exit Minecraft Launcher completely and make sure it’s not running in your task manager by pressing CTRL, ALT, DEL. Restart it to see if it works now. If that doesn’t work, try completely shutting down and restarting your PC.

If you have access to the games through Game Pass, make sure you have the Xbox app installed and signed into your account with the subscription. If you’re not signed in and don’t own the game, it will try to find you a license that doesn’t exist. Once installed, select the launcher here and Manage Game to find Verify and Repair.

If restarting your system didn’t help, it’s time to look at your game’s files. There may be a corrupt file installed that is messing everything up. Open the window’s search bar and go to Apps & features. Once here, scroll down until you find the Minecraft Launcher app. Select it and click Advanced options. Under Exit you will find some options to repair or reset. Start repairing so your system can find corrupted files. Only perform the reset if it still doesn’t work after repairing it as it will erase everything that isn’t stored in the cloud.

If the repair and reset didn’t work, try uninstalling and reinstalling the Minecraft Launcher. You’ll need to reinstall both the Java and Bedrock versions of Minecraft, but this is the most likely thing that will solve your problem.

If none of the above helped you, contact Minecraft Support so they can help you further.
